French 19th C Open Sphere Made from Wine Barrel Irons

We are great fans of quirky items and bought this open sphere expecting to make it into a lighting fixture, but we have lost our lighting expert and so are selling this and a companion sphere (FBA 1018) in unrestored condition. It would be stunning repainted and fitted with a 4-candle cluster, but we also think it stands alone as an unusual decorative piece by your front door or in a garden bed. Leave the patina as is or repaint it to your custom specifications and it will give you decades of please outside year-round in all climates. Approximate weight is 5 lbs.

France, CA 1890
